Vzťahy medzi EÚ a jej južnými susedmi sú jednou z našich priorít. Naša práca zahŕňa širokú škálu oblastí, ako napr. zapojenie občianskej spoločnosti do politického a občianskeho dialógu, demokratickú transformáciu, zamestnanosť mladých ľudí, trvalo udržateľný rozvoj, mobilita a prisťahovalectvo, obchod, energia z obnoviteľných zdrojov a rozvoj podnikania.

EHSV sa týmto témam venuje od roku 1995. Po zmenách v regióne, ktoré sa udiali v roku 2010, sme upravili naše ciele zodpovedajúcim spôsobom:

  • podporovať organizácie občianskej spoločnosti v krajinách v procese transformácie. Takáto podpora je zameraná najmä na odborové zväzy a organizácie zamestnávateľov, ako aj združenia žien, mladých ľudí a poľnohospodárov,
  • udržiava bilaterálne vzťahy s národnými hospodárskymi a sociálnymi radami v regióne a pracovať na vytváraní podmienok na zapojenie občianskej spoločnosti do politického dialógu s partnerskými krajinami z južného Stredomoria,
  • vydávať stanoviská a spoločné správy o kľúčových politických problémoch v regióne,
  • organizovať pravidelné stretnutia so zástupcami európskych inštitúcií a medzinárodných organizácií s cieľom diskutovať o politikách týkajúcich sa občianskej spoločnosti v celom regióne,
  • usporadúvať výročný summit hospodárskych a sociálnych rád a podobných inštitúcií, na ktorom sa politickým predstaviteľom národných vlád a EÚ predložia kľúčové politické odporúčania týkajúce sa hlavných problémov regiónu.

The afternoon session will be dedicated to the idea of a new macro-regional strategy for the whole Mediterranean region encompassing the countries of the Southern Neighbourhood.

    This feasibility study to generate statistics on climate-induced migration and ways forward sought to gather and review existing data on climate-induced migration, focussing on five Member States (France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Spain) and one candidate country (Türkiye), to inform an effective EU response. There is no universally agreed definition of climate-induced migration. The majority of population movements as a result of rapid onset events takes place within a country as opposed to across borders.

    The External Relations Section (REX) of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is responsible for dialogue between European civil society organisations and their homologues from the countries with which the European Union has formal relations (e.g. under the form of a Free Trade Agreement). Through this dialogue, made possible by a series of bilateral bodies, and through specialized opinions and information reports, the Committee is able to concretely contribute to EU foreign policy.
